“Bedbound butterball. Mustached mush. Narcoleptic nugget. Squishy Seattleite,” reads the bio on Milo’s Instagram account, which—as you might expect—features photo after photo of the pudgy little pup snuggled up in the sack.

He’s appeared at charity events, graced a Hallmark card, served as a spokespup for a national dog treat brand and even launched his own line of branded apparel (for both people and dogs).
